By means of the bell-shaped disk and the teeth on the inner part of its mouth it sucks and buries into the mucous membrane of the intestine and sucks blood.

"Fig. 29. Dochmius duodenalis: a, male; 6, female (natural size); c, magnified head. (Jaksch.) Animals affected with this parasite become anaemic, weak, and thin, and have a peculiar discharge of a thin, bloody mucus from the nose (M6gnien, E,aillet). The presence of this parasite is recognized in the same way as one would locate the tajnia—by the presence of the eggs in the feces. They are easily recognized, the eggs being similar to the ascarides. Besides the already mentioned parasites we also find in the intes- tines the trichocephalus depressiusculus in the ceecum and ihe both- r:ocephalus latus, cordatus, fuscus, reticulatus, and bubius in the small intestines; and we also find a coccidium (the coccidium per- forans), which may produce a diphtheritic inflammation of the intestines (Eivolta and the author). They have been known in rare instances to produce rabiform Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Mu?ller, Georg Alfred, 1851-1923; Glass, Alexa
